ECCLESIASTES

CHAPTER 3

1 For everything there is a season, And a time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

7 A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to be silent, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace.
